This section contains these topics:
The RMAN environment can contain the following components:
Each component has a release number. For example, you can use a release 9.0.1 RMAN executable with:
In general, the rules of RMAN compatibility are as follows:
Table B-1 shows version requirements for RMAN components.

RMAN cannot create release 8.1 or later catalog schemas in 8.0 catalog databases.
Restore operations for an 8.0.4 or 8.0.5 target with an 8.1 or later catalog schema do not work when both these conditions are met:
If any of these conditions is not met, then you can use an 8.1 or later catalog schema with an 8.0.4 or 8.0.5 target database.
Using a pre-8.1.6 release of the RMAN executable with recovery catalog schema of release 8.1.6 (newly created by 8.1.6 RMAN executable with the CREATE
CATALOG
command) requires the following update at the catalog database:
SQL> UPDATE CONFIG SET VALUE='080004' WHERE NAME='COMPATIBLE';
Assume that you maintain a production databases of the following releases:
You want to record metadata about these databases in a single recovery catalog database. According to Table B-1, you can use a single 9.0.1 recovery catalog database with a 9.0.1 catalog schema for all but the 8.0.3, 8.0.4, and 8.0.5 target databases. The 8.0.3 target database requires an 8.0.3 catalog schema. "Note 2: 8.1 or Later Catalog Schemas and 8.0 Target Databases" indicates that in general 8.0.4 and 8.0.5 target databases should not use the 9.0.1 catalog schema.
RMAN permits you to create multiple catalog schemas in a single catalog database. Hence, the solution illustrated in Table B-2 is to do the following:
